medicine far superior TO all others In tho
treatment of Group, the alleviation of
Whooping Cough, and the cure of Colds
and Influenza, ailments peculiarly Incl
dental to childhood and youth. Prompt
tude in dealing with all diseases of this
class is of the utmost Importance. The
loss of single day may, in many cases,
entail fatal consequences. Do not waste
precious time in experimenting with
medicines of doubtful efficacy, while the
malady is constantly gaining a deeper
hold, but take at once the speediest and

A Flaming Fountain.

In the town of Kane, on the summit
of the Allegheny untains, near the
Philadelphia & Eric Railway, there are
noted sulphur and iron springs. Here,
in the spring of 1878, we'll was sunk
more than two thousand feet into the
mountain, which, though failing to
strike oil, opened veins of oil gas enough
to light city. The we'll was finally
abandoned, and the castings cut in bor-
ing were pulled out, when the hole
rapidly filled with water, which poured
in until the imprisoned gas accumulated
beneath in sufficient quantities to lift the
column of water, over third OF a mile
deep, when it blew the water out in
volume of spray over the top of the well.
From that time this process has been
going on; and at intervals of from SIX
to ten minutes this vast body of gas,
spray and water is blown out into the
air in column hundred feet high.
sometimes the gas is set on fire, and the
mingling of flames and spray produces
most beautiful rainbows in the night. In
the winter, the water freezes and after
weeks of cold weather the frozen foam
stands in mass of more than hundred
feet high, sparkling in the sunshine, a
most magnificent spectacle.

The Sleeping Disease.

A singular and invariably fatal
malady, called lcthargus, is reported to
bo peculiar to negroes in certain dis
tricts on the western coast of Africa.
The patient, usually male adult, is
seized without any premonitory symp-
toms, with a sensation of drowsincss,
which continues to increase in spite Of
all efforts to throw it of, until he sinks
into profound and seemingly natural
sleep, and which continues for about
twcnty-onc days, when death comes.
Throughout tho course of the disease
the patient preserves quiet and peace
full countenancc, may be easily aroused
for a short time, will take nouri hmcnt,
and generally answer few qucstio rs in
a perfectly rational manner; the pulse,
respiration and temperature remain nor
NAL throughout the pupil is neither di-
lated nor contracted to any noticeable
extent, and the weddings arc compare
lively regular; in fact, with the excep-
tion of the abnormal tenden to slccp,
nothing exists to denote disease. Many
careful post mortem examinations have
been made by competent men, but moth
ing Of an abnormal character has been
found, while every remedy that could
possibly be of any avail has been used
without any apparent beneficial effect.

The term thoroughbred was origi-
ually used in England only in connection
with the bloodcd race horse, and is still
little used in that country in speaking
Of pure bred animals of other breeds.
In this country it has become corrupted
by being indiscriuinatcly applied to all
registered or pcdigrccd stock, and is
used synonomously with pure bred and
full-blood. The term thoroughbred
should be used as a noun only when re-
fering to the blooded race-horse, and
it is generally so recognized. To
be sure of not being misunder-
stood it is usually best when referring
to the above named kind of horses to
call them thoroughbred race-horses.
Custom in this country makes it entirely
proper to use the term thoroughbred
synonomously with full-blood and pure
bred as adjectivcs in connection with
the name of the breed. We speak of
thoroughbred Shorthorns meaning Just
the same as when we say full blood or
pure-brcd Shorthorns. Those who are
interested in thoroughbred race-horses
and some others still object to the word
thoroughbred as an adjective used in
connection with the name of other
breeds but they are in small minority.
Generally speaking, any ono of these
three terms means, in this country, that
tho animal to which it is applied, is a
pure blood of recognized breed.

CuriOus Lightning Freak.

During hailstorm at Mors, in Dem
mark, few days ago, flash of forked
lightning-the only one occurring
struck farmhouse, and, having demol-
ished the chimney and made q
wreck OF the loft, descended into the
living rooms on the ground floor below.
Here its career appears to have been
most extraordinary; all the plaster
around doors and windows having been
torn down and the bed curtains in tho
bed rooms rent to pieces. An old Dutch
clock was smashed into atoms, but
canary and cage hanging few inches
from it were quite uninjured. The light
ming also broke sixty windows and all
the mirrors in the house. On leaving
therooms it passed clean through the
door into the yard, where it killed
cat, two fowls and pig, and then
buried itself in the earth. In one of the
rooms were two women, both of whom
were struck to the ground, but neither
was injured, II Nature.

Electric RAILWAYS.

According to an estimate made by an
electrical journal, several months ago,
the electric motor now moves street cars
in nearly two dozen cities, carrying an
annual average of 3, 500, 900 passengers.
In Montgomery, Ala, electricity is used
on eleven miles of road, and the cost is
reported by the general manager to be
only one-half the cost of horse power.
Roads on which electricity takes the
place OF horses are found In Baltimore,
Los Angeles, Port Huron, Detroit,
Scranton, Appleton, Wis, and Denver.
Electric raj ways are in course of con-
struction or under contract in twelve
other cities, and in thirty-seven, COM
panies have been formed or other steps
taken for the building Of such roads.
Most OF these railways are built on the
plan of the Edison railway, which CON-
municates power by an overhead con-
ductor. No successful method of using
storage batteries attached to the cars
has vet been tried.

A Canary's Four Notes.

In the song of the canary four notes
are recognized by dealers, and they can
tell by listening to it for few minutes
whether the bird is German or Amer
lean. They are the water note, which
is ripping, attractive bit of warbling
like the murmur of a rill; flute note,
clear and ringing; the whistling note of
the same class, but very much finer,
and the rolling note, which is contin-
uous melody, rising and falling only to
rise again. 1t is in the last-named note
that the American birds fail. They can
not hold it. Another difference be-
tween the two is that German canarics
are night singers-they will sing until
the light is extinguished. But the
American birds put their heads under
their wings with darkness. .-LDetroit

The Applc SEED.

Como hither and listen; tale I'll relate
or little brown seed and its wonderful fate;
In heart Of an apple in autumn twas found,
Then was buried deep down in the dark, ST.
lent ground.
The frost soon enshrouded its own little bed,
And SHOWS drifted DER it, by chilling winds
sped;
The day and the night were alike where it
lay;
OF the pale winter sunshine it knew not ono
ray.
The white drifts all vanished one mild April
day,
And frost that encased it all melted ere May; !;
1t sprang to the surface as soon as twas
freed
And raised two green banners-the brave
little seed.
1t grew and it spread as the fleet years went
by;
1t sheltered the cattle, while birds of the sky
Built nests 'mong its leaves and there reared
their young,
And the gay boys and girls on its low
branches swung.
Should you sail to the East-the wide ocean
DER
And search every page of its magical lore.
You never will find a more marvellous
thing
Then the blossoming out of that tree in the
Spring,
And apples grew on it, so rosy and fair
1t seemed the red sunset imprisoned lay
there;
Down 'mong the tall grasses they dropped
from the tree,
Where the children would seek them with
shouting and glee.
When haryests are garnered at fall of the
year,
The corn-husks all stripped from the glossy,
gold ear,
This queen of the fruits, that the season had
graced,
In the cellars cool darkness was carefully
placed.
In long winter evenings around the bright
The family gathered-from infant to sire;
Then apples were brought and circular
On the hearthstone was placed to roast in
the glow.
A fair, laughing maid, with n keen, glancing
steel,
A ribbon would make Of an apples smooth
peel,
Then the fresh, supple length would use as
Of the name of the lover who loved her the
best
Around her bright head she would give it a
twirl,
Then a gentle dash downward, with twist
and quirl;
And scoffing, but blushing, her shoulder
looked DER
At tie letter it made as it fell to the floor.
The silver-haired grandma her knitting laid
down,
And taking an apple, all roasted and brown,
She story on story in retrospect traced,
As the dear toddling babe she indulged with
taste.
The provident housewife made many dish,
As luscious and wholesome as mortal could
wish,
Of their rch juicy pulp, oh, q wonder, in
deed,
Is this tale that tell of the little brown seed

Peculiarities Of the Oyster.

Tho oyster is the earliest Of all trav-
elers, probably, for his travels begin be-
fore he was Matched. The egg or en-
bryo from which the young oyster is
developed is provided at first with So
called ella or vibrating hairy projection,
a number of which give the infant oyster
aswift movement through the waters.
This lively journey continues until the
little oyster strikes bed of similar oys-
ters already formed, or else, if he is not
fortunate enough to find companions, a
rock or solid substance of some kind.
Thcrc tho egg of the oyster clings, de-
veloping, with the others it has found,
or 2 \ those who come along afterward
aud find it, until it is full grown.
As every female oyster lays from fifty
to sixty thousand eggs in season, it
is not surprising that it seems almost
impossible to exhaust the oyster beds.
The consumption of oysters is enormous.
Immense quantities are shipped from
certain beds along the Atlantic coast
throughout eight months of tho year,
and yet the supply seems never to come
to an end.
We do not distinguish many different
kinds of oysters when we eat them, and
yet there are between three hundred and
fifty and four hundred varieties of oysters
in the world. Among the smallest kind
known is that which the people of Eng
land, France and Germany usually eat
the oysters dug in the neighborhood of
Ostend, Belgium. The largest is the
horseshoe oyster, which grows in the
Pacific Ocean and elsewhere. Ordinary
oysters of choice varieties, transplanted
from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific
have been found to develop into great
size, and to have lost their flavor, so
that they were scarcely eatablc.
A singular characteristic of the oysters
of Florida is that they are commonly
found growing on trees--not, indeed,
upon the branches of trees in the air
but upon the trunks and roots which ex-
tend into the water along the creeks and
inlets of the Florida coast.
When tho tide falls, the oysters, cling
ing to these trees, are left out OF their
proper element for hours at a time; but
this does not interfere with their health,
or with their multiplying almost beyond
belief.
| tThese Florida oysters are very small,
AID not very good to cat. They form,
in the beds where they grow, mass al
most as solid as masonry. The carly
settlers of Florida built forts"of these
sdiia ssnasses OF oysters as defence
against the Indians.
The oysters on the coast of Florida
were formerly much larger, for fossil
shell-hcaps, left by Indians of an early
race, arc found along the coast, which
are made for the most part of very large
oyster-shells. Great she'll heaps of the
same sort are found on tho coast OF
Maine. Youths Companion.

The Fate of Ocean Wrecks.

The almost daily reports by arriving
vessels of passing derelict and aban-
doned vessels at sea. might lead the
landsman to suppose that wrecks are
more numerous than is actually the
case. But, in fact, single wreck is
reported many times and frequently in a
wide change of position. 1t may be
seen today on one part of the coast and
tomorrow may be many miles from that
position, as it drifts about with the cur
rent of tho Gulf stream or it is driven a
long distance by the winds.
1t is only a few weeks ago that the
cruiser Atlanta towed into the capcs of
Delaware dangerous derelict which
had been drifting about off tho coasts
for weeks, and though special attention
had been given by passing vessels to re-
port this wreck, in order that the infor-
nation might lead to finding and de-
stroying it, it was long time before it
could be placed. Often the wrecks that
are reported at the photographic office
lead to an extensive and unavail-
ing search only because they
have been carried so far from the re-
ported position by winds and currents
that the searching vessel could not find
them. When it is possible to tow them
into port this is done; otherwise they
are blown up with gun cotton torpedoes.
One wreck, seen on the lower edge Of
the banks of Newfoundland on Aug %,
in latitude 43 dcgs. north, longitude
IS degs. east, had drifted to latitude SO
degs. north, longitude GA degs. west, on
Oct. 2, distance of 600 miles, and had
been reported four times. - New York
